[Eyes of the Dragon: Spacious Mode]

"1,2,3,4,5..."

Ars had found the location of his next prey that day.

It took a long time for Ars to replace a Bull Hornet nest. First, he had to replace one or two that were on the loose. Second, he had to resist the urge to kill them right away with one shot. Third, he had to follow them quietly until they revealed their nests.

Monster Name : Bull Hornet Nest

Difficulty : 6

Monster Info:

> A nest full of Bull Hornets. One hive has about 20 Workers, 6 Guardians, and 1 Queen.

Recommendation Party: 1 Platinum, Full Silver or Gold Party

Existence: Floor 1 and 2

Ars just got that information on the Hunter Bracelet. But he doesn't care, even that need 2 or 3 Gold Hunters, "I can finish this all by myself."

Just like normal bee animals, the Bull Hornet's daily activity is to replace flower nectar to bring to their hive.

[Royal Jelly: One of the most expensive item drops found on the 1st Floor]

[Eyes of the Dragon: Sharp Mode]

Ars still couldn't see it clearly, but the Bull Hornet Nest was on top of one of the Giant Leaf Trees. About 30m or 40m overhead.

"First, finish off all the workers."

Bull Hornet Workers are those who work to replace nectar.

Ars shot once. "Good, it caught all of their attention."

They are not difficult to face. Yin can even kill two with one hit each. But Ars only need to shoot one sword to kill them.

Ars ran around the Bull Hornet Nest area. After a few meters, he starts firing and managed to kill about 25 Bull Hornet Workers without a problem.

[Trophy earned: Bull Hornet Killer III]

[Successfully killed 20 Bull Hornets]

[Skill obtained: Bull Hornet Killer III]

[Passive: Deals 6% more damage to Giant Bull Hornet type]

"Tch, this annoying sight again."

Ars actually has accepted the reason why the skills obtained from the trophy are so small. That is because, if a Hunter has grown strong or has moved places, that skill becomes useless.

This skill only helps Hunters who cannot descend further from this forest.

In addition, the biggest reason for Ars undertaking such a risky hunt for him was to raise the level of [Eyes of the Dragon].

[Eyes of the Dragon Level 02: 13/20 Trophy]

No, that's not the biggest reason - "Money!" - Having learned how the market works, even though he has assets of 100k in hand, Ars cannot just sell all those assets.

Because of this, the hunt this time is also a step towards the next plan.

Ars felt another danger that was emerging.

Monster Name : Bull Hornet Guardian

Difficulty : 3

Speciality : Three-horned, Fast Mobility

Inteligence : 3

Type : Guardian Nest

Monster Info:

> A stronger and more dangerous type of Bull Hornet than Workers. They will come out when all the Workers are dead. The thing that should be feared of them is the three horns and maneuvers in the forest where they live.

Recommendation Party: Gold or Full Silver Party

Existence: Floor 1 and 2

The Guardian Bull Hornet has a body twice as big as the Workers. Plus, they fly like flies with their huge bodies.

[Eyes of the Dragon: Warning Provider]

Ars could feel six monster figures moving around the perimeter of his sight. They flew like flies in that giant forest.

Attacks coming from behind. Ars parried with the sword in his right hand. The next moment came from the left side. He took out one more sword to deflect the attack.

The six giant bees attacked Ars relentlessly with a harmonious rhythm.

Ars being overwhelmed. Plus, he also made the mistake of standing in the middle of an empty area. He had to do something, like a risky attack, to get out of the situation.

"Die!"

Ars managed to kill one of them, then let the next Guardian attack him. The next moment, Ars received an attack with a shield which sent him thrown several meters back.

In the air, Ars immediately fixed his position and ran to retreat.

The five Guardians chased after Ars without thinking. But they lost quickly if they moved straight with the Hunter who attacked them.

In the end, they lost track and had to stop to replace out where the Hunter was moving. But alas, a sword fired and killed one of them.

[Eyes of the Dragon: Thermal Mode]

Ars outwitted the fastest flier in the Giant Leaf Woods. Though he had to take the risk of climbing a tree branch that was nearly 10 meters high.

Four Guardians remaining. Three of them immediately dashed to Ars together. Direct each of their three horns to kill Ars.

Ars was standing on a tree branch. There was no turning back, and it was too late to jump down. But Ars is not afraid. Instead, he jumped two meters from the top of the three Guardian Bull positions.

In the next instant, holding two swords in each hand - "[Twin-horizontal Slash!]" - Ars took out three Guardians in one hit.

[Trophy earned: Bull Hornet Killer IV]

[Successfully kills 5 Bull Hornet Guardians]

[Skill obtained: Bull Hornet Killer IV]

[Passive: Deals 8% more damage to Giant Bull Hornet type]

[Eyes of the Dragon Level 02: 14/20 Trophy]

There was only one Guardian left, and Ars didn't need a big effort to finish that giant horned alone.

"Phew!"

Unexpectedly, the battle was tense enough than Ars thought.

[Status debuff: Bad Omen of the Giant Leaf Woods]

"Hm?"

Ars got the Bad Omen after killing all the Bull Hornet Nest residents. This gave Ars a question: "So Bad Omen will infect me after I taking out a certain number of Abyssal Monsters?"

Before Ars could think about the answer, there is an enormous bombing sound coming.

Boom!

Suddenly a roar could be heard from behind.

Boom!

The source of the roar was getting closer.

"The Big Mom finally came out."

Boom!

The sign of the roar was like a cannonball that shot right into Ars's position.

Boom!

Monster Name : Queen Bull Hornet

Difficulty : 5

Speciality : Deadly Horn, Fast Mobility, Accelerate

Inteligence : 2

Type : Bos Area

Monster Info:

> Area boss incarnation of the Bull Hornet. Queen Bull Hornet will only come out when all her cubs slaughtered. This area boss was no smarter than Killer Bee, but more deadly due to her speed and power.

Recommendation Party: 1 Gold, Full Silver Hunter

Existence: Floor 1
